Of Monsters and Men - Destroyer (Official Lyric Video)

I want to be the king of my body and mind
Gravity let me go
Before it bruises and blackens me and you
Bury me in the glow… Of Monsters and Men.

will be for death that does not leave
even a shadow on trembling flesh."

Spring 2025 April

 Lots of work to do in the garden this season. It rained all last fall, it snowed all January 2025, it rained with tornadoes all March, and I've been under the weather myself. But I have flowers everywhere, some wild like these.

Trying hard.

“Rest and be kind, you don’t have to prove anything.” — Jack Kerouac
